I have messaged my cousin to send me some pics taken of our wharf in center harbor dated in the 1890’s. It was in my estimation 3+ feet below the normal mid summer level. Will post the pics when I receive them.
The pictures attached are from 1923-1924, covering the time prior to the wharf being built to its completion. I would estimate the level to be down 4’.
In the Ladies bathing pic note the two boathouses in the background which are still standing today. Little One Mile is seen in the far background on the left.
Location is Center Harbor bay.
